"Hope" is the thing with feathers--
That perches in the soul--
And sings the song without the words--
And never stops--at all--
And sweetest--in the Gale--is heard--
And sore must be the storm--
That could abash the little Bird--
That kept so many warm--
I've heard it in the chillest land--
And on the strangest sea--
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb--of Me.
~ Emily Dickinson ~
Feel free to enlarge and right click my little bird, I scanned him in myself from an old book I found.

I love the Emily Dickinson poem "Hope" and what a sweet Sparrow image. Our garden is filled with Sparrows ~ no matter what window of our home I look out of- I see sparrows :-}
Thank you. I love the poem and the picture of the sparrow. Have a great week!!

How beautiful! It's no wonder why I tend to judge a man's wisdom by his hope....
Have a happy day

That's always been one of my favorites. I've seen paintings and cards were they've just used the first 4 lines, but it is so much more lovely in it's entirety.
Thanks for sharing.
